cat oi I;!,"dc Islands Vote.
There is a prospect that little Rhode
Island, that already has Il numerical rep
rcssrtation in the Senate equal to that
Of the largest State, may have IN intiu-
ence of tie LARGEST character in the next
House OF Representatives. In case there
should be &c choice for President at the
polls in 1855 the election would be
thrown into the House of Representa-
tivcs, the vote being taken b: States,
each State having one vote, and the can
tliidate having majority OF all the votes
being selected. There was contest over
the election last fail IN the second Rhode
Island district which was settled by the
House ordering a new election. That
election viii be held April 6, and on the
choice then made may hang the next
Presidency. The majority of the States
is twenty. In the Fiftieth Congress if
the vote for President is taken by States,
each State voting according to the party
preferences OF 2 majority of its delega-
ton, tle Republicans will have nineteen
States and the Democrats will have
seventeen, classified as follows:
Republican States-Califorria, Col
orado, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas,
Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Ne
braska, Nevada, New Jersey, New York,
Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Vermont,
Virginia, Wisconsin.
Democratic States-Alabama, Arkan-
sas, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida,
Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mary
land, Mississippi, Minnesota, Missouri,
North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennes-
see, Texas, West Virginia.
New Hampshire is not included in
either of these tables, rs its delegation is
divided evenly, SO that it would have no
vote in the emergency contemplated.
Rhode Island is also omitted, for the
complexion OF its delegation is not yet
determined. It has two representatives
in Congress. One Of these is q Repubi-
can, and if the other, who is to be elected
in April, shall be Republican, the Re-
publicans will then have the twenty
States necessary to a majority, and
would so elect a. Republican President.
Il lie shall be Democrat, the delega-
ton from Rhode Island would be tie,
without vote, and the Republicans
would then be left with their nineteen
States, or still one short of a majority;
while the Democrats would be no better
off than they are now. The result Of the
election in April will be awaited with
great interest, as the second district Of
little Rhode Island may have the dis
position OF TIE next Presidency III its
hands.

4 Young Wife Tests Her Husbands Love
and becomes Sorry for 1t.
From tho Npw York World J

and becomes Sorry for 1t.
(from the New York world)
Annie Pfad, the young and pretty wife
OF Saloopkeepcr August Pfatf, OF No. 1873
Avenue !, wasn't quite sure that her
husband love was al her own, and in
putting lin to the test size passed
through IN experience which she entirely
unexpected. Saturday evening Pfatf
found her moaning piteous.y on the
sofa, and in answer to his questions she
said that having aScertaiDed that he did
not love her, she had swallowed & dose
of ''Rough Oh Rats. Instantly the hus-
band was Oh his knees beside her and
calling her pet names, and she was on
the point OF telling him that she had
been n erely joking when he dashed out
Of the house, and, meeting Policeman
Schmidt, Of the Fourteenth Precinct,
requested him TO ring for an ambulance,
as his wife had taken poison and was
dying. Alter the policeman had sum
moncd an ambulance lie Went to the
Saioonkeepcr's apartments and made a
prisoner OF Mrs. Platf on tie charge OF
attempting suicide.
The ambulance surgeon looked down
her throat, slapped her on the back and
walked her up and down the floor at the
rate of six miles an hour. Then she was
taken down the stairs and placed in the
ambulance, although she protested that
she had not taken poison. At Bellevue
Hospital she screamed when she saw the
doctor with the stomach pump, but she
couldn't help herself, and the doctors
disgust can be imagined when not Il
trace of poison was discharged from her
stomach.
She was discharged and she vas going
home with her delighted husband when
Policeman Schmidt interposed. She was
his prisoner for attempting suicide, and
as he had already reported the case to
his captain he was compelled to arrest
her, and use the husband, who had given
him the information, as complainant.
Mrs. Pfatt remained in the sitting room
Of the Fifth street station house until
Essex Market Court was opened yester-
day morning, when she was arraigned
before Justice O'Reilly, and alter she
had told her story she was discharged.

"INhat will the President DO when he

Matthews Case.

The following document preptrel by
resolution was adopted by the Senate Mon
day, and was sent with the rejection Ia the
President. The vote upon the adoption of
this resolution stood 26 IL Is, and the di.
visisn was upon strict party lines. The in
juction Of secrecy was removed upon
motion Of Senator Riddleberger, which was
carried by vote of 40 to /:
"'rhe Senate does not consider that il is
required either 10 admit or deny tho pro

- ENz&yides and all the advantages
and formzfities Of trial surrounded by an
Influential element inside and outside of his
own color.
The christian fortitude, delicate and lady
like department this injured lady has shown
all through the shifting scenes of this unfor-
tunate drama in official life commands the
admiration and sympathy of every one at
all cognizant Of the facts in the case.
In conclusion, what sad, bitter, dark
and rasping commentary this case furnishes
upon the management of the Interior De.
partment under Democratic jurisdiction. Its
head may endeavor to explain and mitigate
but the damnable stain will rest upon those
responsible with all the sickening horrer and
rePugnance with which crime fastens itself
upon the sincursed brew of the condemned
criminal oh, for the hours of "ths sweet

political opinions. In such case the issue
of race disappears and the test is politics.
"The Senate has no official information,
other than that contained in the message OF
the President, whether Matthews is white
or black. He is admitted to be citizen of
New York. The Office to which he is nom
mated is strictly local. The compensation
for the performance of its duties is not paid
by the government, but mainly by citizens
of the District having papers to be recorded
therein. His confirmation is opposed with
substantial unaRimity by the citizens of
the District of Columbia without regard
to color, politics or occupation. The just
principles of self-government, as well as the
declarations of both political parties, justify
their desire that the duties of the Office Of
recorder of deeds should be performed by
some resident of the District acceptable
TO those whose property is to be affected by
his acts, and who pay the entire expense Of
its administration"

The interstate commerce bill having been
approved by the President, is now law, and
therefore of special concern To all shippers
Of freight across State lines, as well as to the
railroads, which will find In its equitable
provisions unwelcome, though in the end
beneficial, restraint upon most OF their bad
practices. The provisions of the act relat.

sixty days after its passage. The sum oI
one hundred thousand dollars is appropr.
